Hey MAYers!

How is everyone doing? I haven't been here in ages. . .my health took a turn for the worse this summer but I've recovered again and since starting music school at UNT I've barely had time to breathe, let alone come on the DISboards! But I am loving every minute of it. I've missed talking to you all though! James and I are going to try and sneak in a trip to WDW (at the Pop) right after my finals are over on December 14. . .and Seacrest, James and I have booked the Disneyland Hotel for Spring Break next year (March 15-22)! I can't wait. . .Maybe we can meet up sometime during our trip!

I hope you are all doing well. . .for those of you near the fires, please be careful and stay safe! Keeping you in my prayers. Have a great week!

Carol (who can't believe she's turning 35 tomorrow! )

Happy birthday

Good Morning MAYers!

Am I the first one on the boards this morning??? JO - it's time to get up!!

Goofybaby - So good to hear from you! Glad you are feeling better and busy planning Disney trips!!

Seacrest - I paid $15.99 for shipping on the WDW DVD. I thought that was high for shipping too, but still figured that $16.99 total was a good deal! DH doesn't know that he got it for me yet!!

Okay, I'm off to the grocery store. I hate grocery shopping! I wish I could spend the money on clothes instead!!

Congrats on the dvd, I love to grocery shop.

Mornin!

I could not sleep last night!!! Went to bed at midnight and woke at 7 am. Ugh.

Mari~
Did you get your luggage??? Tell me about it.

Shelly~ The sun is finally out a bit. YAY sun! Let's send some to Mari!

I think I am going insane with the kids at home. Any ideas as to what to do with them for cheap??? The are bored and want to go to school.

I was talking to DH about this last night...
ever heard of a lawsuit against a teachers union?
The union and School Board met on Monday night. Still nothing. The school board gave them SIX different proposals, they rejected every one of them. I want someone to bring a lawsuit against the union and was wondering if it's possible.

Anyone know??? I'd be willing to try...

Jo

I spoke to DH and he said you really cant sue the union. But the parents should really push the school to get some subs in.

Hey Jo the luggae is great...They are a good size... the set included the big one you check in, the carry on and a little duffle. it is very cute...i got the charcoal color one. if you go on disneyshopping.com and go to luggage it's the 3 pc set. i walked around the house with it last night and very good handling. hopefully it will be a brezze at the airport with a stroller.

Jo you should look into that lawsuit thing???? these teachers are getting so greedy... it's not like they work in an urban neighborhood where they have to deal with problem kids.

Good luck with the luggage

Morning all...I'm always here!
I read the board a least once a day...just have so many things going on haven't had time to post...
So now...
Huggie...glad the job is going to work out for you...
JO...quit posting...I will never catch up or make 3000...
Sea...the fires are just awful...with the weather change I hope they will get them under control...Did like the "Governator' and how he is handling this massive problem...get out there and see the desturction...then help! Stay safe...
Sulley love you ADR's...
Mari...sometimes right after the holiday season you can find good $$ flights...
but it is so hard to wait until then...
Shelly I make our ADR's through Itinerary Planning...(we stay club level) I email them and they do the rest for me...I love doing it this way...I love concierge level and have been able to do it for the last two trips...the perks of getting old I guess...(401k = vacations)

This morning I was looking into flights...so far the price for us five: $1,760.00 I'm hoping to do better...
JC

That price for the airfare is super duper high.

Hello well here are my plans so far not sure exactly what day we we do what only becasue i'm waiting to see what parks have the xtra hours and what day..

Day 1
Hopefully find a flight that gets there early. have lunch at resort...then 1900 park fare for dinner.
day 2 - breakfast at resort and look a round a little then off to MGM. sci fi dine in for lunch and 50's prime cafe for dinner.
Day 3
Epcot day Princess storybook breakfast, teppan edo lunch and then off to Chef Mickey.
Day 4
Ohana Breakfast then MK, quick service for lunch then crystal palace for dinner. stay until close.
Day 5
breakfastasourus for breakfast the AK( dh didn't really like this park too much), then DTD in the afternoon wolfgang puck cafe for dinner
day 6
TBA
day 7
TBA then go home

AGAIN all this can change.... still working then i have to run by DH and get his OK.. but he'll say yes to whatever i say.....

That plan looks good too.

That's what my DS just asked me. So I'm sitting here bawling, and figured now would be a good time to tell my MAYer friends what's going on in my life...

I need your prayers.

Something is happening in my body and I don't know what it is. The doctors have run tests on me and one in particular has come back positive. It's called an ANA and it tests for autoimmune disorders. Things like Lupus, Rheumtoid and Osteo Arthritis. These are some of the diagnosis that they are trying to rule out.

My Grandmother died in the '60's from what they thought was Multiple Sclerosis. My Mother now thinks it was Lou Gherig's disease, or ALS. Both of those are autoimmune disorders.

I see a Rheumatologist for the first time on Halloween, next Wednesday. So I'm asking for you to please say a prayer for me, if you can spare one.

I am in pain all of the time. I haven't been able to sleep on my own accord in over a month. The joints in my hands, knees, shoulders, toes and fingers ache constantly.

I am just anxious to know what it is I am dealing with so that I can get back to doing what it is that needs to be done.

I cleaned the house this morning, and literally, I am having a hard time standing, and walking now. This is so foreign to me. I have always worked out and lifted weights. I haven't been able to in some time. I get easily fatigued and when Drew just asked me why I was limping when I walked, I didn't know what to say.

So I came here, put it into words and now I am going to lie down. Thanks for listening, guys, and for the friendship we've all developed.

Jo

I am praying for you. I hope it all works out. I have a friend who has RA and is on meds and is doing great. Please feel free to let it out here.

Me too!! It doesn't have to be on Mother's Day if everyone has plans elsewhere. I just thought DTD would be a good meeting spot. We could eat, or shop, or just hang out for a bit! My family LOVES DTD!! I was telling DH that we were trying to plan a DTD MAYer meet (now that he believes me that you all are real - thanks JO!) and he said - well, we are at DTD so much that chances are whatever day they pick for the meet we will already be there!

I am sure a dtd meet will work out.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Ohhh Jo...... Prayers are with you

 

[JoBird]

All,

Thank you all sooooo much for the words of support and comfort and for the prayers. You don't know how much it means to me. It's really funny how you bond with people and talk to them everyday. Heck. I talk to you all more than my extended family.

I went and tried to rest but couldn't so I took a super hot bath and man, it relaxed all of my joints. Now i'm only hobbling. I'm a Hobbit.

Hugs to all of you. Thanks again.

Have a wonderful night. Let's meet back here again tomorrow and start all over again!

Jo


PS

DMM- Weren't you suposed to take Roman in today? Or was that yesterday? Any news? I've had him on my prayer list.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

We feel blessed to have them travel with us...I feel sad for your inlaws...missing out on such great little boys...your kiddles are blessed with great parents that love them and are involved in their lives...
JC

Thanks JC. It really is a sad situation. It's just so sad for the kids when they don't understand why their own grandparents don't come around. And we don't understand either. We've tried and tried and they just tell us that is the way they are. What in the world does that mean??? Oh well, I said I wouldn't get into it here!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

No problem... whenever we can all get together i'll go.....

Mari...the same here...whenever...wherever...
JC

Okay, good! I'm glad we are all going to be willing to meet up. I'm sure not leaving it to chance again this year!!


=====================================================


Alright, I'm signing off for the night. We are getting ready to carve our pumpkins!
Talk to you ladies tomorrow!

 

[sulleyfan]

Good Evening MAYers!! Hope everyone had a good day

How about that DTDMDMM. . . Anyone still up for that? Where's JC anyway?

YAY! for the DTDMDMM! Definitely still up for it

Jo
You'll be in my prayers and thoughts. My mom used to work for a wonderful rheumatologist and ironically now sees him as a patient....There are a lot of available treatment options out there, I'm sure they'll be able to find something to help you stay comfortable and ease the pain.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Hi everyone THanks for thinking about Roman Yes his appt. was today, but our oh so wonderful 'specialist' called us as we were walking out the door to his appt. to CANCEL! I was fuming, we have our new appt on monday, but i'm really upset. I wish they understood that people like my husband work and take time off for stuff like this and to call us at the last minute...

Then it was this monday appt. or wait until the beginning of DECEMBER>!>!>!

grr..

 

[mari360]

Well my fellow Mayers.... i hope everyone one has a great weekend and a great halloween. I'm actually getting ready to leave to the airport and I will check in on Thursday........

JoBird- will have you in my prayers and thoughts. hope everything goes ok on the 31st.

DMM - I also have little Roman in my prayers. Everything will be OK. Boo to the doctors for what they did to you.

Shelly - My DH mother is similar to your inlaws. She doesn't really come around or even want to be included in stuff. Last year for our May trip we paid to for her to come with us and at the last minute she said she couln't make it, even after everything was already paid for.

Everyone else have a good one. Talk to you on Thursday...

[huggiebear23]

Good Morning Everyone!!

I woke up with pink eye. I cant believe it. I have so much to do tomorrow and dh is working. UGH I have to call the doc now.

 

[JoBird]

Mornin.

DMM~ UGH. So sorry about the appointment. I hate when things like that happen. And I know you were hoping for a resolution to this. Now you have to wait all weekend for the next step. Unbelievable.

Huggie~ Hope your eye gets better. Belle used to get that all of the time. It is so painful and irritating. Can the Dr call you in an Rx?

Sulley~ I am getting so excited for you! Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I'm hoping it is something that is easily treatable. I'm wondering if it isn't something like Fibromyalgia. I guess we'll see.
How long has your Mom been seeing the Dr? I am only 35 and don't want to start taking meds if I don't have to. Right now, I only take an advil when absolutely necessary. Meds affect me so weird. Everything puts me to sleep, including advil!

Mari~ Be safe and have a great trip! I know you've already left, but I'm thinking of you!

Everyone else...get up. Time to talk.

Jo

 

[JoBird]

Sulley~
I've been meaning to ask you. Do you own DVC...at SSR? Just wondering. I've been reading about people renting a week instead of booking at a resort. Just wondering if you owned or if you rented.

Jo

 

[Jordans_Mommie]

Hi JordansMommie ! Good to hear from you again. How are your WDW plans coming?

Thanks for your prayers for JObird! I know she will appreciate it very much.

Hi! My WDW plans are coming along slowly. I have been really busy at work, so I havent had much time to work on my trip, and I am trying to wait patiently for decent airfare to come out so that I can book our flights. Our maps arrived in the mail this week, so that was exciting.

 

[JoBird]

So I'm waering my Mickey mouse long sleeve tee shirt, drinking coffee out of my Mickey Mouse mug, and I just made Mickey Mouse waffles.


I'm never going to last a year without spilling the beans.

Mary Cat, who is an old soul and came into the world I know being an old lady, keeps looking at me strange. I think she thinks something's up, but hasn't said a word. I have to make Room ressies. I haven't done it yet, because the kids are always around!!!

Jo

 

[JoBird]

Mornin' JM!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words yesterday. I am honored to carry your prayers of healing, and I accept them.

Where will you be flying from? Shelly (momof2disneyboys) and I are just north of Pittsburgh. Last year for our May trip I got airfare on South West for $39 each way. Can you wait to book and fly SW? The transportation forum might be of some help in watching for good airfaire.

How many times have you been to WDW?

So many questions...
I'm just excited to have a new friend to talk to.

Have you read through all of our pages of chatting? I'll try to go back and find our pictures of us that we posted last year, so You'll know who you're talking to, and also who to be on the lookout for in May.

Jo

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Good morning everyone!


JO - Hope you are having a better day!

JM - I know, I am (not so) patiently waiting cheaper airfare too!

Mari - Have a wonderful trip! We will miss you.

Huggie - You just made me think of that awful eye infection that I woke up with on our departure day at WDW last MAY. That was so nasty! Hope you feel better soon!

Sulley - Glad you are still up for the DTDMDMM!! YAY! It's going to be so much fun!! And I can't wait to hear where you will be working, you know we will all have to come and see you there too, Cast Member!!

DMM - Sorry about the doctor canceling. That's a bummer. Let us know what you find out next week.

JC & Seacrest - Time to WAKE UP!!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Morning JO!

What part of the RP Mall is the CCF in? Is it near a major store so I can find it easier? Thanks!
